Thanks, now I know I'm really not missing out on anything.
You really aren't, it's one of those games that has no gameplay elements to not get in the way of the story telling. While this would be great in theory I didn't want to spend ú40 (okay rented for ú3) on a book with lots of pretty pictures and no dialog what so ever. That sounds a little like a great massive con to me considering it's saving grace, the story is about as interesting as watching paint dry.
Anyway on the topic of EvE being fun, well I don't know. I've been thinking about this as I sit in the station after having my arse handed to me by the other pirates that have trained "scary Irish accent" several levels higher then me. Why do I waste perfectly good beer and junk food money every month on such a game that don't even give me the the shallow gratitude of pretending I'm special and the universe's only hope for survival.
Still this is a pretty smart choice as at least then I'll be used to the idea of being hated by half the known universe as ****gy coloured phallic shaped ships give me a not so proverbial arse raping session on the gates again.
I suppose it's because of the struggle is why I keep playing this infernal bug ridden game with a forum community that at times don't even qualify as immature. Although thinking about it most forums have that problem and those that don't are up their own arse about it anyway (hi Koffdrop!).
Anyway the struggle. That's probably why I play EvE as I'm sure any hardcore WoW player will probably tell me that being able to kill another player all on my own is no big deal and to crawl back to my muddy pool of filth you nooby little ****. But here being able to kill another player on your own is a huge momentous occasion and you know for sure that if he's done anything other then go down the cheap bastard T1 route that it's gonna cost him either a big wad of cash or a big wad of time to recover from your forceful ways on his pod.
I think thats why I keep playing, it's such a huge effort to achieve even the most mundane things in the game that you can't help but celibate hugely about it to everyone who's in earshot. Until the inevitable "get over yourself it's just a bloody computer game you pathetic little nerd" line gets thrown at you that is.
It's hard to think of the most fun game I've ever played, I probably gonna say N64 smash bros or mariokart games are probably the most fun I've played simply for the amount of silliness 3 guys and a slab of black plastic can produce on otherwise boring Sunday afternoons.
Edit: Bugger, I didn't mean to ramble on like that sorry.
